New Book – The Hardware Hacker: Adventures in Making and Breaking Hardware – by Bunnie Huang via Adafruit Industries

One for my “To Read” shelf. — Douglas

For over a decade, Andrew “bunnie” Huang, one of the world’s most esteemed hackers, has shaped the fields of hacking and hardware, from his cult-classic book Hacking the Xbox to the open-source laptop Novena and his mentorship of various hardware startups and developers. In The Hardware Hacker, Huang shares his experiences in manufacturing and open hardware, creating an illuminating and compelling career retrospective.Our very own LadyAda (Limor Fried, founder and engineer of Adafruit) scored a review copy and even gives her recommendation on the back cover! Here’s what she had to say:

“Bunnie is the ultimate tour guide of hardware hacking as it stands today, with an eye towards the sublime art of how things are really made. The Hardware Hacker will take you on a journey through the factories of the world, covering both technical & ethical implications of the ‘stuff’ we manufacture and buy.”
